Interesting! That's a new batch for the Alberta. The last one had different packaging, and was higher proof at 66% ABV  |

Did some bourbon hunting yesterday. We began in the Lawton/Ft. Sill area, headed to Wichita Falls, Texas and then over to Denton before heading home. No unicorns unfortunately but some exceptionally great drinkers. I was especially happy to find such a wide variety of EB including Distiller's Collections and cask strength. There were also some great store picks; Nulu, Blue Note and Tumbling Dice. I got lots of OF rye for those who've been jonesing here in Oklahoma where it isn't distributed anymore. Finally I normally don't buy Booker's but the 21-04 was only $76 on Ft. Sill. Oh, final stop was at Bucees for Nuggets and Yuengling.

I grabbed two. Once for my vertical (I have I - V plus the Reserve 14 yr BiB) and one for the shelf. Damn good juice. |

Supposedly an Iowa only selection. @8588Hawk how was this vs their small batch? I have a place here with 15 bottles at $50 each. No rare picks but this place has a hell of a selection with dust forming on the bottles |

Stagg Jr, depending on batch, $250-400 each, EH Taylor single barrel is 200ish, and EH Taylor Small batch is 80-100, each. Actually, Elmer T Lee is a shade under $400, Blantons go for at least $200, Stagg Jr is about $300+, EH Taylor Single barrel is $300 and small batch is $150+. And prices just went up. Here in the small town in WI where I live, the local liquor store has regular Buffalo Trace at $65. If I remember correctly, it was just $35 about two weeks ago. It's making me rethink where I spend my money. |

ETL is dropping fast, easy to get below 300, the only stagg that goes for 300+ is 17 or anything below 12. Batch 13-16 are 250 tops and EHt SIB only goes to 300 for store picks. You need to find better groups lol Originally Posted By ajacobs: People going to KY as bourbon tourists the ones driving up the price? Price increases are definitely present in KY but are not exclusive. I’ve made a few trips to KY and was able to get a LOT of good bottles at retail |
